Throughout July until the first week of August, the city of Toronto grips itself with explosive street celebrations and the rhythmic sound of soca, steel pan, and Calypso bands. Of course, it's the Toronto Caribana Carnival, which is nothing short of spectacular.
Every year, Toronto oversees millions of tourists flocking to the city to participate in the street celebration and enjoy Caribbean culture, themes, music, costume, and food. While the showdown of the event is, of course, the Grand Parade, there are many other events throughout the city in place for you to enjoy the Caribbean vibes.
So let's take a look at the top highlights of the Toronto Caribana Carnival:
- Grand Parade
Starting from Exhibition Place to Lakeshore Boulevard, the Grand Parade is an epic street parade of masqueraders and costumed performers dancing to steepen, soca, Calypso, and Reggae music with traditional Caribbean instruments.
- King & Queen Showcase
A costume pageantry of all the Caribana bands where these participants perform to be adjudged King and Queen of the event.
- J'ouvert
J'ouvert is a mini parade that includes steelpan bands and masqueraders performing with improvised instruments.
- Junior Carnival
The Junior Carnival is just like the Grand Parade but with the next-gen of performers. Children get the chance to revel in Caribbean culture and promote the community in cute and innovative costumes.
- Annual Caribana Party
The hottest Caribana party in the city goes down at Barcode Saturdays. Every year, we host the grandest Caribbean-themed party during the night of the Grand Parade with Caribbean cuisines, culture, music, and awesome vibes.
